TYR Faces Row With Right Wing
By HAL DRAKE Daily Trojan City Editor
Indications that ultra conservative members of the Republican Party wculd try to reorganize the Trojan Young Republicans became stronger yesterday when Counselor of Men Frank Joyce revealed he had been contacted by “ranking'’ county Young Republican officers.
Joyce said that the Young Republicans, who are not associated with USC, have been in contact w i t h him “over the past two weeks” to express their concern over the “non-

grains in general.
She will appear with the other “top women of Troy” on a two-page color spread in the 1962 El Rodeo.
Hedy Davis, chief justice of USC's Women’s Judicial Court and Barbara Epstein, Daily Trojan editor, were announced as “Helens” on Wednesday and Thursday.
Miss Herrick, who spends from 15 to 20 hours a week in her office as the university’s chief correspondent, is a member of Mortar Board, national senior women’s honorary; Pi Sigma Alpha, national political science-international relations honorary; Blackstonians, pre-legal honor society; and Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman womens’ scholastic honorary.
Additional memberships are Chimes, junior women’s service honorary; Amazons, service organization; and Spurs, national sophomore service honorary.
In her sophomore year Miss Herrick served as Troy Camp counselor and in her junior year as chairman of ASSC Christmas Project and sponsor for Elisabeth von KleinSmid dormitory.
Attending USC on university and California State scholarships, the vivacious brown-eyed brunette has maintained a 3.3 grade average in her undergraduate work.
She is an alumna of St. Mary’s High School, where she was president of Girls Athletic Association and sports editor for the campus newspaper. She was graduated with life memberships in the California Scholarship Federation and National Honor Society.
The student leader attended the University of Cambridge this summer as one of 18 USC students selected by the university to participate in a predominantly Continental annual Vacation Course for Foreign Students.
Miss Herrick, an international relations major, centers her life at Troy around people, politics, law and IR.
“I have no. intention of staying in politics,” she says. “I plan to attend Law School here and pursue a career in international or corporate law.”
She refers to her major as a “fascinating field” and an “excellent way” to keep up on the world situation, to study people, governments and countries and to gain a “tremendous insight” into what makes the world tick.
The senior recalled that Troy Camp, the University of Cambridge, Mortar Board and the secretary post have been her most enjoyable university activities.
Miss Herrick said she hopes that in the future USC would develop more of an intellectual atmosphere.
However, “I do not think a university should become a haven for bookworms,” she explains. “It should be an institution where the development of the student as an individual is the primary objective and where social relations are not the molding factors.”
She adds that she would like to see students taking a more active part in their university life.
“A person should never find interest in one thing only,” she says.
“The university is for the student,” Miss Herrick continues. “It’s here to train people, and students should take advantage of what it offers in as many ways as possible.”

Joyce said that the complainants were also concerned that TYR has become “too liberal” and has failed to cooperate with local Republican units.
Reprisals have been expected frcm the Young Republican organization since the county convention Tuesday, at which TYR opposed the election of ? slate cf officers headed by “ultra conservative” Robert Gaston.
TYR President Haney Harris said that USC’s refusal to support the ultra conservatives on grounds that several of them were unqualified shocked many of the far-right delegates.
Harris said yesterday that retaliation by the victorious riehtists had been expected by TYR.
Traitor Label
“We know when we made this decision we would be called traitors to the conservative movement,” he said. “But it has been a policy during the year and a h a 1f that I have been president that we won’t be forced into any decisions that do not coincide with our own principles.
“We feel that we have been more than loyal to the Republican Party,” he continued. “We feel these ultra conservatives were taking advantage of the present sweep within colleges and trying to hide behind the banner of conservatism.”

OVERALL THEME
Lights, Sets to Add To Epitaph' Effect
By SUE BERNARD
The lighting and stage settings of USC’s upcoming Step Gap Theater production, “Epitaph for George Dillon,” contribute as much to its drab, closed-in effect as the script and acting, two student drama technicians explained yesterday.
Martin Steffire, lighting technician for the production, and Drck Odle, set designer, said that pale, colorless lighting and understated, dingy settings emphasize both the theme of the play and the character of the family in it.
Student Stagehands
The only Stop Gap production of the year which will feature scenery and lighting by the students themselves, “Epitaph,” as Steffire and Odle see it, deals with the place of an artist in society.

The main problem today in nuclear- testing is the disagreement among the militarists, social scientists, and physicists, the chaplain said.

Dr. A. C. Ewing, visiting professor of philosophy from. Cambridge University, will speak today at noon in Argonauts Hall, Mudd Memorial Hall of Philosophy, on “The Correspondence theory of Truth.”
Dr. Ewing will seek to define truth for members of the Philosophical Association and interested students with a discussion of the different relationships to reality on which truth debends.

Dr. Swearingen claimed that we need not fear an objective or factual approach to teaching communism will result in the contamination of some students.

“With the stage so near they can almost touch it, the audience cannot help but be involved,” Odle said. “It makes them realize that they are as much on trial as the people in the play.”
The set’s furnishings also create the dingy effect of the Elliots’ existence.

“The room is sort of a collage of themselves,” Odle explained. “It reflects a wasted family that's run out of all its pep.”

Dr. Swearingen claimed that we need not fear an objective or factual approach to teaching communism will result in the contamination of some students.
This marks the second week that the Drill Team and the Drum and Bugle Corps will have led a parade in a Southland city. Last week the two organizations led the Christmas parade in El Monte.
The team, under Midshipman Harry Mackin, received a trophy last week for being part of the honorary7 division of the parade.

The set’s furnishings also create the dingy effect of the Elliots’ existence.

“The room is sort of a collage of themselves,” Odle explained. “It reflects a wasted family that's run out of all its pep.”

“We’re not using any color in the lighting to keep the ef feet as pale as possible,” he ex plained.
